The Integrative Pain Management Program: Results From a Pilot Expanding Options for Chronic Pain Treatment

The San Francisco Department of Public health completed a group based pilot of the Integrative Pain Management Program (IPMP). Situated within the primary care setting the intervention was developed to expand access to non-medication treatment options for patients with chronic pain. The IPMP included physical activity/movement groups, integrative modalities (acupuncture, massage, mindfulness), and patient education around the neuroscience of chronic pain and the role of medications in pain management. The workshop will focus on the process of developing and modifying the pilot based on patient and other stakeholder input, outcome data, and next steps in expanding access to this intervention.
